The Lure of the Local: Senses of Place in a Multicentered Society
In the Lure of the Local: Senses of Place in a Multicentered Society, Lucy R. Lippard, one of America’s most influential art writers, weaves together cultural studies, history, geography, photography, and contemporary public art to provide a fascinating exploration of our multiple senses of place.
